I booked this tour weeks in advance solely because it had the option for hotel pick up. I selected my hotel from the drop down menu on Viator. The day before the tour (less than the 24 hour cancellation window) the tour operator texted and said I had to meet them downtown in a parking lot, they would not pick me up after all. My hotel was outside their pick up area. I contacted Viator. They would not refund, said it would need to be 'reviewed'. So instead of risking being out the cash, I ubered to the parking lot and waited for the tour. The guide was excellent. We stopped at the Alamo and a Mission. Then a storm rolled in. I did go up in the Tower of Americas but was unable to see anything due to the rain. I could have saved my ticket for another day, but this was my only free day while in town. Was given my ticket for the river boat ride to use at a later date, which I was not able to use. The rest of the tour was cancelled due to rain. I was driven back to my hotel since there were still two hours left in the tour. The weather was unfortunate and could not be helped. The hassle with the ride could have been. I have never been to this area of the country before and had no idea my hotel was outside their pick up area, especially when Viator let me select the hotel! Very disappointed with (non existent) customer service. The tour operator could have let me know long before that there was an issue with the hotel I selected. But they waited until the 24 hour refund window passed knowing I could not get a refund. I would not book with Trip Sheperd (the tour operator) again for this reason. I would have cancelled if I could have.

If you only have one day this is a great option. Our tour guide had some challenges thrown his way and rolled nicely with them. I personally think the tower is not optimum but that wasn't in his control.

Ruben was the best. Very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend this 100%. The sights were great

Karyn_H

Excellent private tour with KD. He thoroughly explained each stop and was very knowledgeable. KD tailored made our experience even better by adding on a stop. We appreciated his recommendations and his attention for our comfort. Highly recommend this tour when visiting San Antonio!

Allen_P

We needed a little more time at the Alamo. One hour was not enough. The missions were better than we had expected. We wish the Tour Guide would have given an actual tour in all of the places we went rather than just taking us there and turning us loose for a designated period of time.

Tour guide KD (Kelly) was very personable, informative, and extremely customer oriented. He was able to answer any questions or concerns and offered to assist should we need to contact him after the tour. We extremely recommend this specific tour of San Antonio.

John_H

Great way to see San Antonio. Highlight of the day was the Riverwalk Cruise. Dan was one of the best guides we have ever had!

This was a fun tour. Very small group. Ruben was knowledgeable and efficient. The river cruise was a nice end.

Our tour guide Alfred was VERY knowledgeable and funny! We went to San Antonio for our 10th anniversary and took this tour because we love Texas history and wanted to see the historic Alamo and San Antonio Mission. This was a small group of 7 people, My husband and I, a couple from Philadelphia, a couple from Virginia, and a gentleman that was from Brazil. I am hearing impaired and had a difficult time hearing while at the Alamo ( there was loud construction everywhere ) BUT after I explained to Alfred that I couldn’t hear him when he turned away from me while speaking, he made sure that he spoke towards me the rest of the tour and spoke louder. We had such a wonderful time! Thank you Alfred for an amazing time 😊

We had a great time with KD as our guide. Many laughs and lots of information about the city. We had some older family with us and he customized the trip so it wasn't so taxing on them in the 95 degree weather. thank you
